This is a really important video, I feel like videos related to the foundations of esoterica is incredibly lacking on RUclips. There’s a lot of 101 type videos out there but it never breaks it down to the actual philosophies that make it all work
I really like these 'Magic 101' type presentations, they are foundational to (me) making sense of all the other esoteric information I come across. Thanks Dr Puca!!
There are days I really don't like watching your stuff. Not because the content is bad but because I realize that I didn't take in a single word of the previous 5 minutes. Staring at the screen like a teenager! Please take this in the way I present it. I appreciate beauty. Now, to listen again for content . . . . Focus, focus, focus.
This may be the best presentation on the philosophical under-pinnings of pre-monotheistic spirituality and magical practice I have ever hear. Fantastic! Thank you.
Really great video! This video is going to help a lot of practitioners reflect on their own practice and what it means for them to do things the way they do. Quite mind-expanding and eye-opening!
This is exactly the video I was looking for!! I feel like people don't really ever explain the philosophy or reasoning behind magickal practice, which made me confused and hesitant to really indulge in magickal practice, since the belief system and rules seemingly appeared from nowhere and nobody was giving answers as to why it had to be a certain way (which would contradict the scientific approach to understanding our world). I'll have to rewatch this video a few times to make sure I understand everything, but this was super useful and important! Thank you Dr.Puca!!!!
I love the MASSIVE amount of correspondences in esotericism and magick. I just got Stephen Skinner's Magician Tables highly recommended for those looking for over 800 correspondence tables from many traditions. Very interesting video I appreciate your work. Keep it up it's nice to have the academic's perspective on things.
These ideas are completely antithetical to my personal world-view and philosophy, so having them laid out so clearly is really helpful to understanding the world-views of others. Thanks Angela!
This is a wonderful video. The relationship of all things and the link to each other. I think that we could also consider the vibration and frequency that links the microcosm/ macrocosm as a correspondence link. Thank you doctor.
Hello Dr Puca! Always always always you never disappoint with your mini lectures/content. Thank you for providing nut shell versions of a much bigger picture. Sometimes you serve a full meal course no doubt...much to chew on. Have a great day wherever you may be or do!
76th to like! Thank you for the illuminating discussion and analysis! Despite how it is frequently framed as obsolete or unfashionable, the doctrine of pre-established harmony has many contemporary [secret] followers in the Academy. In the philosophy of mind, typically, a property dualist holds a monist physicalist position. But then, the property dualist proposes that there are both physical and mental properties. It "just so" happens that the mental properties travel along with the 'true' underlying causes of all action: material state changes. Mental properties appear to us to be efficacious. And this is a delusion or illusion, depending on the theorist. Not all property dualists admit to a pre-established harmony between physical and mental properties. But the use of emergence to explain mental properties typically suggests a sort of idealism at complete odds with the physicalist foundation. Thus the emergence of mental properties from physical interactions is likely to be interpreted as a pre-established harmony inherent in the physical structure of reality. A Strong Anthropic Principle can be borrowed from cosmology to explain why a physicalist monist would accept what would otherwise be an occult relation. If it is possible to imagine a world without consciousness or mental properties where 'we' all acted identically to how we behave here, you might be a property dualist. You might then think there is a pre-established harmony in our world correlating our mental life with the underlying material state changes that are the true causes of all action. What if Epiphenomenalism is a contemporary form of the doctrine of pre-established harmony? A materialist defence of an occult worldview! Is this Hegel's nightmare? Beautiful! Much love!
Wow this was one of your best videos yet (imo) and just one of the best videos I've seen on magicks in a long time. I also love how by revealing these esoteric ideas and secrets you are in many ways truly embodying the high priestess archetype as the revealer of the mysteries. Thanks for the info and I can't wait to see your channel grow further.
So important to dial back from particularities of various practices to the philosophical fundamentals underlying them all! "'The Secret Speaks', but in order for this to occur it is necessary that the modalities of discourse be emptied of all content." -- Giorgio Agamben
This episode also is sort of a synchronicity for me as I was just listening to the Penny Royal podcast which in the 2nd season heavily goes into magick and many of these concepts talked about here. Moreso how technology is playing into a new form of technomagicks and directly influencing and affecting our realities.
I'm also curious if you've found since creating a youtube channel and becoming the focus of thousands of viewers, if your youtube "personality" or "character" has gained qualities of a tulpa or egregore or if since creating the channel if it has affected your life and your own synchronicities or manifested things into being that wouldn't have been possible had you not created a youtube channel? Just some random thoughts I've had with tech and youtube personalities in general, anyways thanks again for your awesome work.

I have a PhD and a bunch of high brow credentials. Im telling you this for no good damn reason. I found a association between Angela and Ishtar🤪, Ishtar told me in a excstatic dream that I should start a gofundme so that you can buy a new chair, sound room insulation for you walls, a new microphone and a green screen. I recited Gilgemeshes refutation of Ishtar from the Epic of Gilgamesh, and she ran off pissed, I think she going to throw a bunch of bull my way, so obviously I hope someone else starts a Gofundme for you. Quickly, otherwise, I understand that when Taurus craps, the whole world is fertilized.
Dr Puca is actually moving to a new flat where she can have a room dedicated to recording. This was her first recording in that room and when she is fully moved in she will have a green screen and furniture. Any donations towards better facilities would be welcomed, I am sure. At least that is what Enkidu intimated to me in a vision 🍄

Great to hear!

It's a good exercise in focus 🤓
Wow you just laid out the methodology to nearly every magickal system along with several philosophical underpinnings in twelve minutes. Amazing.
Thanks
So, it never fails: I notice something regarding practices and wonder about it then, BAM! You JUST released a video explaining about it.
This may be the best presentation on the philosophical under-pinnings of pre-monotheistic spirituality and magical practice I have ever hear. Fantastic! Thank you.
Really great video! This video is going to help a lot of practitioners reflect on their own practice and what it means for them to do things the way they do. Quite mind-expanding and eye-opening!
Glad it was helpful!
Good work! As an historian specialised in early modern Germany and alchemy, I found it a very precise summary of magical thinking. Thank you.
Many thanks!
That was brilliant Doctor Pica.
You put it into simplified, logical, and ways to understand, innerstand and overstand.
Ur a BADASS.
#gratitude
This channel deserves way more views. Keep up the great videos.🙏
I appreciate that!

You did a really, Really, REALLY great job about describing this!
Glad you think so!

You’re welcome 😊
incredibly helpful, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Top of the day Doc..
A sort of occult take on the double slit experiment, the idea that things are altered by perception and things are not as they seem on the surface.
I'm also curious if you've found since creating a youtube channel and becoming the focus of thousands of viewers, if your youtube "personality" or "character" has gained qualities of a tulpa or egregore or if since creating the channel if it has affected your life and your own synchronicities or manifested things into being that wouldn't have been possible had you not created a youtube channel?

So gaudy, I prefer to just listen without watching. Interesting content.
